chemlstry to students who do not have adequate knowledge of ele- 

 mentary organic chemistry to begin with. If you endeavor to 

 teach the Clements of organic chemistry and the appHcations of 

 chemistry to biology in the same course, you find it impossible to do 

 justice to the latter subject, and you confuse and disappoint the 

 average Student besides. I hope the deliberations of this associa- 

 tion will bring about increased requirements and greater opportu- 

 nities in physics, chemistry and biology at the beginning of the train- 

 ing of women in higher education. You need these three tools in 

 your biological work in household arts and sciences; and they 

 should be as effective in your hands as we try to make them for 

 the students and practitioners of medicine.
